Scene Stealers

[Deleted]

I was just watching some of my old Blackadder tapes the other day, and I'd forgotten what a scene stealer Tony Robinson was as Baldrick. That's tough to do when you're in a scene with Rowan Atkinson, Steven Fry, Miranda Richardson and Hugh Laurie.

Oh absolutely! I believe that without Baldrick (and Tony Robinson's hilarious line readings) The Black Adder would be a second rate television show. Baldrick is the glue that held that show together.

My God, how could I have forgotten about Joan Cusack in Working Girl? She owns this thread!

"Valium. In the handy economy size"

"Hi, I'm here to see Tess McGill."
(*Standing up and linking her arm throug Harrison Ford's*)
"Let's go give her a shout, shall we?"

"Yeah... should have checked the milligrams on those. Live and learn."

"Sometimes, I dance around my house in my underwear. Doesn't make me Madonna. Never will."

"Coffee, tea - me?"

Joan Cusack in anything, really. When I think of In & Out, I think of her scenes.

"FUCK! BARBRA! STREISAND!... AND YOU!"

Ok, I had to resurrect this oldish thread just to mention Terry Crews in White Chicks. I watched this for the first time over the weekend and was ready to give up on it until he strolled onto the screen. He not only stole the movie but MADE the movie as Latrell the ball playin’, white chick lovin’, oyster slurpin', rave dancin’, 1000 Miles singin’ Buff Daddy blocking the sun out with his… erm… anatomy.
Fabulous over the top performance. I wound up watching this movie three times in a row just for him.

As great as Christian Bale was in Batman Begins, Cillian Murphy's Scarecrow and Michael Caine's Alfred made it even better.

Bruce Willis -- yes, that Bruce Willis -- steals Fast Food Nation with a tiny, 5-minute presence in which his character is brash, cajoling, malevolent, threatening and conciliatory, barely moving an eyelid in the transformation from one to the other. Remarkable performance, really.

That doesn't surprise me in the least, bstewart - I think Bruce Willis is a really good actor, given the right movie. He fucking rocked Pulp Fiction, and I loved him in The Sixth Sense.

Peter Jackson's remake of King Kong had several scene stealers: Kyle Chandler, Colin Hanks, Jamie Bell, Thomas Kreschmann and of course, Andy Serkis in the title role.

Since we are talking about Can't Buy Me Love in the Unpopular Movie Opinions thread, I will nominate Seth Green in that film. Seriously, he stole that movie IMO.

OMG! That IS Seth Green!
